Domains offer a way to define a range of values that can be used for multiple attribute fields. Using domains helps ensure data integrity by limiting the choice of values for a particular field. Validation for coded value domains is accomplished by restricting the user to choose field values from a dropdown list. Range domains are automatically validated during editing.
The following table lists the tools available in the Domains toolset and provides a brief description of each.
NOTE: Tool availability is determined by the ArcGIS license. Licensing requirements for each tool are listed below.
